A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988) MOVIE REACTION! FIRST TIME WATCHING!!

Major ‘made for tv’ energy with this one.

I don't love Dream Master as much as Dream Warriors, which I consider the Empire Strikes Back/Aliens/T2 of the slasher genre, but I do have great love for it. It was the peak of "Freddy as pop culture phenomenon," and it made the most $$ of the original series at the box office riding that wave. I love Alice, and I love that the friend group in this movie consists of popular dudes, jocks, a nerd, and a gym rat, and they're all cool with each other. Part 4 was filmed during the writer's guild strike of 1988, and they had no final script to work from, so it's amazing it turned out as good as it did. Also, Rick's karate death was supposed to be more elaborate, but they ran out of money. Sadly, in terms of kills, and balancing the horror and the comedy, it all fails after this one. Part 5 has a couple of strong moments but overall falls flat, and the less said about Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, the better. I wish you boys would skip ahead to Wes Craven's New Nightmare, which is both the true end of the original franchise, and also Craven's meta commentary on the whole thing.
